I've had a huge amount of work done by Nad at atouchofflock.com. Same guy as Nads automotive developments. I can send you pics if you wanted.

Top class work, good guy, great prices.

Speak to Raj at autoflock. He did the dahs for our scooby and its absolutely faultless. He uses a real short 0.5mm flock IIRC which I believe he is the only one that does and the finish is superb!

Hi Gus, that was my car. It was done to show how long lasting my process is. Too many people do a poor job and it falls off after a short time, which in turn gives flocking a bad image. Due to this, all of my work is tested. I don't think you'll find any other company that can back up their work like mine. Likewise for the wheels, archliners etc etc. Most of it has had 10k miles through it now, including all the interior.

Are you sure? Most people use the 1mm 3.3dtex and I'm sure Raj does as well, will have to ring him and find out his secrets! Some companies use the 0.5mm 3.3dtex but people who have seen dashes side by side have said that it just doesn't feel right. The 0.5mm 0.9dtex won't be hard wearing enough.

The wheels were never really done from a business perspective. They are a right pain to do. Drop me an email if you wish, can give you some more info.

Gus, never got your email but you're in good hands with Raj. Great Guy.

Hot off the press is my steering wheel, from old knackered Sparco to new
